Looking at the entire Seven Wonders Land, the Third-Order Open Heaven Realm was not only the Workersâ limit, it could even be said to be the limit of the achievements of most Seven Wonders Land disciples.
Apart from disciples like Du Ru Feng, who were highly valued by the Venerables, who else could get materials above Third-Order? There were very few in the entire Seven Wonders Land who had the opportunity to achieve anything above the Third-Order Open Heaven Realm.
âHow is that possible? Old Fang said it before too, we have already set our foundation, and we have no chance to change it. Itâs just thatâŠâ
Seeing that she was still a little hesitant, Yang Kai started, âDonât think too much, it doesnât mean anything else. Itâs just what I promised before. Now that Iâm capable, I will naturally keep my word. I didnât expect to be able to buy it so soon either.â
Yang Kai shook his head slowly, âMany are willing to add flowers to oneâs bouquet, but few will send you charcoal in a frigid winter. It has always been like this. And to me, the value of the few Open Heaven Pills you loaned me back then canât be measured.â
âŠ..
At the same time, inside another house located in the Workerâs Room, two people sat opposite each other at a table fully plated with wine and dishes. One of them was serving the wine and dishes enthusiastically, the smile on his face never faltering for a moment, âManager Zhou, try this, these are all specially bought by this Xiang from the shopping district.â
Zhou Zheng drank the wine and ate the food served to him for a time before he slowly put down his chopsticks, âIâm sure this table cost you a great deal.â
Xiang Yong replied hastily, âNot at all, not at all. As long as Manager Zhou is pleased.â All the while, he cursed silently how difficult it was to even invite him to a meal. When he came back from the orchard, he intentionally invited Zhou Zheng but was ignored. Only after persisting several times in a row did Zhou Zheng accept the invitation, but because he was not in a good mood, he did not want to go to the shopping district and insisted on dining here in the Workerâs Room.
What else could Xiang Yong do? He went to the shopping district and brought back a table of wine and dishes.
After three rounds of wine and tasting all the dishes, the atmosphere became livelier as they chatted, and Xiang Yong decided that now was the moment to strike, âManager Zhou, is there something you can do about this Xiangâs matter?â
Zhou Zheng replied as he continued eating, âThis Zhou is sorry, but this Zhou canât do anything about it. Sir Du has spoken, and this Zhou had to find a place to switch with that fellow; otherwise, I wouldnât know how to explain to Sir Du.â
Xiang Yong almost cursed out loud. [Sir Du did ask you to find a place for Yang Kai, but the orchard is so big, why pick my Heavenly Paradise!?] The displeasure was obvious on his face as he continued, âSince it was Sir Du who gave the order, it should be done, but Manager Zhou, canât we change him to another place? I have taken care of that plot of land for so many years, and it is somewhat sentimental to me. I am reluctant to leave it.â
Zhou Zheng sneered in his heart, knowing that it was not the land that was sentimental to him, but Xiang Yongâs neighbour. Outwardly though, Zhou Zheng waved his hand, âImpossible, if it was a few days ago, it might have been possible, but today, it is impossible to move him.â
âWhy?â Xiang Yongâs eyes widened, âThat little brat canât be so powerful that Manager Zhou canât even move him!â
âOf course heâs not.â Zhou Zheng smiled bitterly, âBut that little brat made a massive contribution recently and is now heavily favoured by Sir Du. When Sir Du was inspecting the orchard a few days ago, he even went down to talk to him for a time. In other words, Sir Du already knows that he is in charge of that plot. If I moved him away casually, and Sir Du asked about it, how would I explain it to him?â
âSir Du went down to talk to him on purpose?â Xiang Yong was stunned, unable to understand why Yang Kai had such good luck.
After a moment of silence, Xiang Yong poured some more wine and spoke in a low voice, âManager Zhou, if we canât move him, we can move others. This Xiang also doesnât want that piece of land, couldnât you find a way to transfer me to a land neighbouring it? It shouldnât be difficult, right?â
âThere must be a reason for a transfer of personnel. The others have done a good job, so why should I transfer them away?â
Xiang Yong was speechless, [Is this the first time you did this? Havenât you done it before? As the Orchard Manager, mobilizing personnel is just a matter of one sentence, who can complain about it? Itâs obvious that you donât want to help Father here!]
Looking at Zhou Zhengâs hateful face, Xiang Yong could not help but get angry.
However, Zhou Zheng just sneered, âYou might as well worry about that person instead of worrying about your little piece of land. If the land is gone, it can be replaced, but if the person is gone, what can you exchange for it?â
âWho?â Xiang Yong was confused.
âWho do you think?â Zhou Zheng looked at him coldly.
Zhou Zheng chuckled, âWhat could have happened to her? Not only has nothing happened to her, sheâs still alive and well at this time.â
Xiang Yong frowned and stared at him, feeling that Zhou Zheng was implying something, and he was disgusted with his pretentious attitude. Recalling how he was rejected by Zhou Zhengâs excuses, he could not help but remarked coldly, âManager Zhou, if you have anything to say, please say it directly. This Xiang is a rather straightforward person and canât understand people who beat around the bush.â
Zhou Zheng patted him, looking heartbroken for him, âItâs because you are too naĂŻve that you donât even know that youâve been deceived.â
âWho dares to deceive me!?â Xiang Yong was furious.
âForget it, letâs not talk about this, come and drink!â
âBullshit!â Xiang Yong yelled and flipped the table in front of him to the ground with a large stomp. He would have drenched Zhou Zheng with wine and dishes if the latter had not dodged in time.
âXiang Yong, what are you doing!?â Zhou Zheng was furious. Although he knew that Xiang Yong was an uncultured brute, he did not expect him to be this crude.
Xiang Yongâs face was grim and rebellious, âManager Zhou, when someone kindly invites you for a meal, isnât it not right that you stir up so much trouble in their heart?â
âItâs not this King that made you upset, but someone else. Why are you mad at me?â
Xiang Yong cracked his neck, âI donât care, Manager Zhou, you have to make it clear right now!â
Zhou Zheng sneered again, âAre you sure you want to know?â
Xiang Yongâs glare looked as though he could eat him alive. His answer was obvious.
Zhou Zheng gritted his teeth, âGood good good. Since you want to know, then Iâll let you know. I hope you wonât regret it.â He did not explain further, but just took out a token and surged his power into it. Holding the token up, and waving it in front of himself, Zhou Zheng proceeded, âOpen your eyes and look clearly.â
When the words fell, a projection of a scene immediately appeared in the air between the pair. There was nothing unusual about the scene. It was just an ordinary house, one of many in the Workerâs Room. There were at least five hundred huts like this in the entire Workerâs Room.
âYou have good eyesight!â Zhou Zheng snorted coldly.
âWhat does Manager Zhou want me to see?â Xiang Yong wondered.
âJust watch and wait, youâll know soon enough.â Zhou Zheng did not bother to talk nonsense with him.
Xiang Yong stared at him for a while, guessing that he would not be able to get any further answers, so he just stared carefully. Nothing abnormal happened, however, and it was rather boring.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the door of the hut in the projection suddenly opened.
Xiang Yong was startled, and watched expectantly.
But in the next moment, his anticipation turned into shock, and then turned into anger. The fury in his eyes burned as though he was a volcano about to erupt.
Zhou Zheng watched indifferently, clicking his tongue, âA man and woman meeting up in the dead of night, what do you think this little brat was doing just now? Tsk tsk, he has only come to Fire Spirit Land for a few months, and was already favoured by both Sir Du and a beautiful woman. He is truly enviable.â
Xiang Yongâs face twitched, and the anger in his eyes instantly turned into endless murderous intent, âDamn him!â
He turned around with an axe in his hand, murderous aura boiling violently as he walked towards the door, âIâll kill him!â
Zhou Zheng barked coldly, âWorkers are not allowed to fight in private. The assaulter will be imprisoned for up to a hundred years depending on the severity of the assault. Murderers will be killed without mercy. Do you want to be buried together with him?â
Xiang Yong halted. Although he was angry at the moment, he still had some sense left. He knew that what Zhou Zheng said was right. If he really killed Yang Kai, he would definitely follow after him, and no one could save him then.
After just three breaths of time, Xiang Yong roared, âThen Iâll beat him up first!â
